Hot Water

Your hot water cylinder uses approximately 30% of your total electricity consumption. It is essential to control when your hot water cylinder is on, and the temperature required. In a typical household where parents are at work and children are at school, your hot water cylinder is consuming electricity to keep the water at a constant temperature. This is costing you money. Let Home Bug put electricity saving in your hands.

* Control your hot water cylinder schedule and temperature. Each schedule can have different temperatures, allowing for maximum saving.

* Create schedules to fit your lifestyle; save money while ensuring that hot water is available when you need it.

Irrigation

Control your irrigation schedule simply and easily. Disable irrigation automatically based on forecast so you save water. Controlling your irrigation schedules has never been easier. No more fumbling about with clumsy input methods, or running out in the rain to switch off the sprinklers! Now watering your garden is managed with ease via the web.

* Configure your watering schedule, and Home Bug will take care of the rest. Switch sections on when needed without affecting your configured schedules. Irrigation couldn't be easier.

* By enabling weather based irrigation, your Home Bug will automatically disable your irrigation schedules for 24 hours, thereafter your normal schedule will resume. Weather based irrigation is based on either actual precipitation the day before, or the forecast for the next day. This not only saves you money, but helps save a very precious resource too!
